I couldn't sign in to DU for the longest!

Eventually I had to re-ask for my Username and then ask for my password, even though I knew them both. I had to enter a new password. Anyway, a day and a half is way too long to "not belong". I was panicking. Something quirky goin' on.

For example if your computer (or browser) just updated, it might have deleted your old cookies.
If that happened then DU doesn't recognize you until you're signed in again with new cookies created.

Make sure your browser is set to keep cookies for trusted sites. Otherwise it will happen every time you try to sign in.

Good luck!

I get all panicky also. The two times we were hacked I was actually depressed until I got back on. I have no life.
